Thank you to everyone that donated, shared or liked the M4L posts! The hard work paid off! Out of all the academic departments at SMSU, we raised the most money and won an additional $1000 to bring our total to $3,025! Great job!

Our very own, Dr. Kristin Kovar on stage at the Minnesota FFA State Convention during the Mentor Recognition for Lauren Hunt, 2025-2026 State Sentinel. Such an honor and a great group of people.

Thank you, Lauren Hunt, for your incredible year of service as Minnesota FFA State Sentinel. Your retiring address challenged every single member in the arena to stop hiding and start showing up as exactly who they are. Your story reminded us that the things that make us different are the very things that make us powerful. We believe in you, and we believe in every member you inspired tonight!

Thank you!!

Thank You, Mustang Community! 💛

M4L Day may be officially over, but the impact is still growing!

Because of YOU, we’ve already reached:
• $121,005 raised (up from $91,000 last year!)
• 483 donors (up from 390!)
• Support from 30 states
• Participation from nearly every graduating class in SMSU history

👏 We’re especially close to a full class-year sweep—just 1980 and 1984 are missing. If you’re part of those classes, there’s still time to join in!

The site remains open as we finalize offline gifts and tally final challenge results:

Students like Lauren Hunt, an agricultural education major from Willmar, Minn., find success at SMSU thanks to the financial support of scholarships. After the amazing show of support for SMSU during M4LDay, our 24-hour day of giving, we wanted to share stories that highlight the impact of donors. https://www.smsu.edu/today/articles/2026/04-13-2026_lauren-hunt-scholar.html
